Objectives

Activity 1. Hjälmared Summercamp By having young people from 2 countries meet under special circumstances, we wanted to make them aware of our similarities as European citizens. This despite the fact that we come from different cultural, linguistic and socio-economic societies. Young people today communicate with the whole planet through various social media and gaming platforms, but the physical meeting is increasingly rare in many groups. At the same time talking about and showing healthy lifestyles, how to eat healthy, the importance of sleeping well, finding exercise in everyday life and at the same time introducing good conversation was a clear goal of the project. Activity 2. Education as a foundation for democracy The democratic development in the world is going in the wrong direction and we see several countries where a process of autocratization is becoming increasingly evident. The awareness that young people's opportunity and right to go to school is not obvious globally or even in some parts of Europe made a working group with young people at Hjälmared Folkhögskola want to shed light on the issue. We want to show good examples, contemporary as well as historical, and create a feeling that we have every opportunity to influence development in the right direction if we work together. An educated people is the foundation of a democracy and that is the starting point of the entire project.
